Description
- The present invention relates to beta-glycolipid derivatives, the preparation and use thereof as adjuvants in vaccines.
- The present invention originates in the pharmaceutical field and in particular in the field of adjuvants for vaccines.
- Specifically, the present invention relates to beta-glycolipid derivatives and the use thereof as vaccine adjuvants, as suitable for being co-administered with antigens in vaccine for bacterial and viral diseases.
- Adjuvants are substances which, when administered along with an antigen, enhance the immune response of the organism. The adjuvants used in vaccine formulations aim at triggering the immune response by administering the smallest amount of antigen possible and, therefore, avoiding any possible risks deriving from an exposure to massive doses of antigen. The vaccine procedure, performed in this manner, promotes the formation of an immune memory capable of priming a "secondary response" for its specificity and memory, and allows the organism to recognise a foreign antigen with lower efficiency and rapidity in the course of repeated exposures. The secondary response, based on the presence of pre-formed antibodies and on a greater frequency of cells specific to a given antigen, allows the quick elimination of the pathogen (from which the antigen is derived) and prevents the physio-pathological processes on which the diseases induced by the pathogen itself are based. As such, adjuvants are indispensable components in the formulation of vaccines, and have in fact been the necessary requirement for the formulation of modern vaccine formulations. For example, they are present in the formulations of vaccines against hepatitis A and B, human papilloma virus (HPV), against B-type Haemophilus influenzae, against pneumococcal infections and many others. Adjuvants, despite increasing the duration and intensity of immune response, cause neither specific nor long-lasting effects on the immune system. Furthermore, they may also be used for other purposes, such as the reduction of toxicity or improvement of stability of multiple component vaccines. For these reasons, the selection of the adjuvant is often crucial for the use of modern vaccines which often contain natural or synthetic antigen substances so as to avoid the problems induced by the use of attenuated or inactivated pathogens.
- Currently, the adjuvants of human vaccines more commonly used are aluminium salts, typically aluminium hydroxide, aluminium phosphate and potassium and aluminium sulphate.
- More recently, the principles of innate immunity have been used to develop new classes of adjuvants which comprise various types of oil emulsions or liposomes, bacterial products such as lipid A, viral products and saponins.
- For many of these substances, although the exact mechanism of action is not known, there are evidence suggesting that they act through recruitment and activation effects of cells of the innate immune system, improving the capability of processing and presenting antigens by cells specifically aimed at triggering the specific immune response, or even specific targeting mechanisms or storage effects. Recently, a great impulse to the identification and development of new adjuvants has been determined by the need of reducing toxicity in vaccines containing highly purified antigens and vaccines against chronic diseases, such as for example HIV, parasitary disease, and certain tumour forms. Alpha-sulphoquinovosides are known which are present in all photosynthetic organisms, such as algae and terrestrial plants. (H. DANIEL, et al. 1961. The plant sulfolipid.

Morphological and immunological characterization of immunostimulatory complexes based on glycoglycerolipids from Laminaria japonica. Acta Biochimica Polonica, 51(1): 263-272 discloses sulfoquinovosides with alpha configuration for use as adjuvants.
- Currently, therefore there is a strong need of physiologically acceptable substances which find application as vaccine adjuvants.
- It is an object of the present invention to find substances which are suitable as pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants in vaccine formulations.

- X is a sulphonic (-SO3H) group,
- In another aspect, the present invention relates to a product containing at least one beta-glycolipid derivative of formula (I) and a vaccine as combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use to prevent or treat bacterial and/or viral infections. In a further aspect, the present invention provides a product containing at least one beta-glycolipid derivative of formula (I) for use in the treatment of pathological stages connected to an alteration of immune response.
- In another aspect, the present invention provides a beta-glycolipid derivative of formula (I) for use in the immunization of an animal, optionally in co-administration with an antigen against which the animal has to be immunized.
- The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be clear from the following detailed description, from working examples provided for illustrative and nonlimiting purposes, and from the appended Figures, wherein:
-
Figure 1 shows the structure of some beta-glycolipid derivatives of formula (I), obtained by chemical synthesis and assayed on systems in vitro and in vivo; -
Figure 2 shows a preferred synthesis scheme for the preparation of beta-glycolipid derivatives of formula (I), where R1 =acyl 1, such as palmitoyl, oleoyl, stearoyl, myristoil, capryloyl, vaccenoyl, or lauroyl, and R2 =acyl 2, such as palmitoyl, oleoyl, stearoyl, myristoyl, capryloil, vaccenoyl, or lauroyl; -
Figure 3 shows a comparison in the expression in human dendritic cells of Class II HLA molecule co-stimulated with TNF and by a mixture of alpha-sulphoquinovosides synthesized on the model of natural compounds present in photosynthetic organisms (Figure 3A ) and by a mixture of synthetic beta-sulphoquinovosides having general formula (I) (Figure 3B ). The Class II HLA expression characterises the maturation of these cells and makes them capable of triggering the immune response in an effective manner. The results show that natural alpha-sulphoquinovosides are ineffective in stimulating dendritic cells, while beta-sulphoquinovosides determine a deep variation in the degree of maturation. The same result is achieved with the co-stimulation with lipopolysaccharide instead of TNF or with the stimulation with the two classes of sulpholipids; (✧) Control; () Human dendritic cells stimulated with TNF; (☆) Human dendritic cells co-stimulated with TNF and alpha-sulphoquinovoside; (★) Human dendritic cells co-stimulated with TNF and beta-sulphoquinovoside; -

- As will become clear from the following Examples, differently from the beta-glycolipid derivative of formula (I), natural glycolipids with an alpha configuration of anomeric carbon of sugar, including natural alpha-sulphoquinovosides obtained from algae and terrestrial plants, do not have any adjuvant activity (

- Within the scope of the present invention, the term "alkyl" means a saturated or monounsaturated hydrocarbon group, linear or branched, containing 1 to 30 carbons. In certain embodiments, alkyl refers, in particular, to chains having 6 to 24 carbons. Examples of such group include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, pentyl, eicosyl.

- In one embodiment, the beta-glycolipid derivative of formula (I) of the invention is prepared according to the synthesis scheme described in
Figure 2 starting from peracetylated D-glucose. - Following selective de-acetylation of the anomeric position with benzylamine, coupling with
glycerol 1,2-O-isopropylidene through the methodology of trichloroacetaimidate leads to the glucolyl-isopropylidene derivative with yields near 80%. The acetate groups, in particular the one atposition 2, determine the high stereo-selectivity of the reaction with the β-orientation of the newly formed glycosidic bond, as shown by the value of H-1 '(δ = 4.51, J = 7.8 Hz) in the 1H-NMR spectrum. - Following selective hydrolysis of the isopropylidene moiety by zinc nitrate hexahydrate in acetonitrile, the condensation with one or two equivalents of organic acids (for example, stearic or palmitic acid) alternatively produces the mono- or di-acyl derivatives. In this way, the method allows a stepwise introduction of different substituents at the glycerol positions. Since primary hydroxyl is widely promoted in the coupling reaction with an equimolar amount of reactant, the introduction sequence allows controlling the type of substitution at positions sn-1 and sn-2 (sn = nucleophilic substitution) of glycerol, thus establishing the regiospecificity of the substitution on synthetic glyco-glycerol.
- The selective removal of the acetyl groups on glucopyranose with hydrazine monohydrate produces the beta-glucosyl-diacylglycerols. In particular, using 2.4 mole hydrazine per acetyl and a temperature below 45°C, the reaction leads to the beta-glucosyl-diacetylglycerols with yields higher than 88%.
- Following tritylation on the primary alcohol of sugar (compounds 13-15, 70%), and acetylation of secondary functions (89%), the introduction of two orthogonal protecting groups on hydroxyl groups is obtained. The removal of trityl (82%), followed by activation of the primary hydroxyl function by tosylation (80%), allows introducing the sulphur-carbon bond through the formation with high yields (93%) of a thioacetate. The thioester function of this latter compound is easily oxidized to the corresponding sulphonate (65%) which, by selective hydrolysis with hydrazine, leads to the beta-sulphoquinovosyl diacylglycerols, among with the preferred compound beta-sulphoquinovosyl-dipalmitoylglycerol (86%). The possibility of introducing different organic acids on glycerol allows the application of this synthetic scheme to all the beta-glycolipid derivatives of formula (I). Furthermore, the synthetic sequence of
Figure 2 also allows preparing derivatives of various aldohexoses (for example, allose, altrose, mannose, gulose and galactose), substituted inposition 6 with phosphate (H2PO4), phosphonate (H2PO3), sulphate (HSO4), sulphonate (HSO3) groups. Starting from 1,2-O-isopropylidene having known chirality, the synthetic scheme ofFigure 2 also allows the synthesis of enantiomerically pure sulpho- or phospho- glycosyl-1,2-diacyl-glycerols. - It should be understood that also all the possible combinations of the preferred aspects of the process as reported hereinabove are similarly described.
- As illustrated in
Figures 3-7 , the beta-glycolipid derivatives of formula (I), in pure form or in mixture, are capable of acting on the immune system triggering the cell response in vitro and in vivo by activating specialized cell lines, generally known as antigen-presenting cells (APC). - In particular, the process involves dendritic cells which, presenting the antigens for virgin T lymphocytes, trigger the immune response de novo. Dendritic cells may essentially exist in an "off' (immature cells) and "on" state (mature cells). Maturation implies the increase in production of trigger molecule levels, like specific cytokines, capable of adjusting T cell response, and transforms the cells so that they may internalize exogenous antigens and process them for the later presentation mediated by class II MHC molecules.
- In accordance with these mechanisms, the beta-glycolipid derivatives of formula (I), in a mixture or in a pure form, such as for example beta-sulphoquinovosyl-di-palmitoyl-glycerol, are capable of causing the maturation of dendritic cells, as shown by the increase in expression of class II MHC molecules (
Figures 3-5 ) and by the increase in production of cytokines, such as for example Interleukin 12 (Figure 6 ). - On the contrary, as seen in particular in
Figure 3 , natural compounds with alpha configuration of the anomeric carbon of sugar, including the natural alpha-sulphoquinovosides obtained by algae and terrestrial plants, do not possess any capability of stimulating dendritic cells. - The maturation induced by the beta-derivatives of the present invention leads to an increase in immunization and to a reduction in the capability of capturing and processing the antigen.
- As exemplified with the preferred compound beta-sulphoquinovosyl dipalmitoyl glycerol, the beta-glycolipid derivatives of formula (I) have also been used as adjuvants to immunize with
ovalbumin 4 groups of female C56 Bl/6 mice (n=5) (Figure 7 ). According to the conventional immunization protocol, 50 µg of the protein are co-administered along with 0.5mg of beta-sulphoquinovosyl dipalmitoyl glycerol in DMSO. The immunogenic capability of the product was also verified by comparing the response of mice to ovalbumin co-administered with two latest-generation adjuvants (Titermax and Freund) according to the manufacturer's instructions for Titermax and Freund. A fourth group of mice was used as control and was treated with DMSO alone. The mice were then subjected to retro-orbital bleeding at 7, 15 and 21 days and the levels of IgM, IgA, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3 were measured by ELISA. The production of OVA-specific immunoglobulins, in particular of IgG1, was comparable between the two adjuvants and the betasulphoquinovosyl dipalmitoyl glycerol, demonstrating that compounds of the invention have immunogenic properties and may be used as vaccine adjuvants. - It should be understood that also all the possible combinations of the preferred aspects of the compounds of formula (I) of the invention as reported hereinabove are described and therefore similarly preferred.
- It should be further understood that all the aspects identified as preferred and advantageous for the compounds of formula (I) are also to be considered equally preferred and advantageous for the preparation and use of the same.
